In Greta Gerwig’s main trailer Barbie movie, walk, talk Barbie doll Margot Robbie gives us a tour of her fabulous world where everything is perfect: everyone plays and dances. “This is the best day ever. It was like that yesterday and it will be like that tomorrow,” says Margot Robbie. She doesn’t know what life holds for her. One fine day, she notices that her heels are on the floor (just Barbieland trouble). She is then given a choice: return to her normal life or learn the truth about the universe; she chooses the former (almost). After much uproar, Barbie enters the real world with Ken (Ryan Gosling) at her side.
